How to Replace 2006 – 2009 Saab 9-5 Xenon Headlight Bulbs – Part 1

Are the Xenon headlights on your 2006 – 2009 Saab 9-5 flickering, dim, turning pink, or burnt out? I show you how to replace these bulbs yourself by removing your front bumper cover and headlamp assemblies to do the job the right way.

This is Part 1 of 2, and includes Removing the Bumper Cover, Removing the Headlight Assembly, and Replacing the Xenon Bulb.

Part 2 shows you how to Headlight Installation, Testing, Bumper Cover Installation, and Before & After.

Here are the bulbs I purchased to have a factory stock look:
– Osram D1S Bulbs (The SAAB 9-5 requires D1S)

Tools you need:
– 8 mm socket
– 10 mm socket
– T25 Torx Socket
– T30 Torx Socket
– Trim tool or hard plastic wedge
– Punch or Phillips-Head Screwdriver
– Flat-Head Screwdriver
– Wrenches
– Extension

This video applies only to the 2006 – 2009 Saab 9-5 with Vision Package or Xenon Headlamps. This is not the process for 1999-2005, or 2006+ with Halogens.

To be honest, you don’t need take the bumper off, passenger side u just move the air intake rubber hose, driver side just move the battery cover, that’s it. I did before…

Great video I really enjoyed it, very detailed. Where were you 8 months ago

Why dismantle all this, when you easily can access the bulb just by opening the rubber cover? Maybe remove the battery and the air hose on the right side.

Just got here because of searching for some fresh SAAB content on YouTube 😀 so, subscribed, let's see what you bring in the future. Will you introduce yourself with this and why you have it etc? 🙂
